I'm busy watching the Red Sox whoop the Brewers.

I'm planning on posting my talk's slides tomorrow. I gave a general report on the visit on Bruce's Bitcoin Show.

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

What if CIA simply threatened that Gavin MUST only say positive, if not .................... you fill yourself.

Its known to everyone that US will do anything to bring down anyone or anything if US don't like it.

It seems he has already been replaced by a stereotypical-American-Dad-type-agent!

you can call it funny/crazy, but some observers claim that non-linear analysis show high relation between domestic/overseas CIA activity, BitCoin introduction/operaton and Lulz "hacking".
just in case if you like weirdo "conspiracy theouries".

Who is the creator? Gavin, you should know? Does anyone who agree that Satoshi is from Russia? I don't think Satoshi is from Japan.

I doubt it.  His writing syntax doesn't seem to be Russian to me, but I could be wrong.  Perhaps I'll go through the forum to find all Satoshi's writings and do a comprehensive analysis on them to attempt to identify the most-likely native country of his.

Well if you are going to go that far.... why not just assume he still posts here under another name, pull all the word pairs out of his posts, and compare them against everyone else? Then do it against users of other, related, forums...

I have considered doing it for fun but, overall, feel its better to respect Satoshi's privacy. What will it really do for us to know who he really is? Real names and real faces map to real people with flaws. Why not let the community have its hero.

I just uploaded pdf and KeyNote versions of the talk I gave at the CIA last Tuesday:
 https://s3.amazonaws.com/gavinandresen-bitcoin/GavinAndresenCIATalk.pdf
 https://s3.amazonaws.com/gavinandresen-bitcoin/GavinAndresen_Bitcoin.key

I took questions in the middle, before I dove into the technical details. I was asked about whether or not I thought price instability would be a problem ("yes, I'll talk about that later") and how/why I got involved.

Later, at the panel discussion, I was asked a question that showed I need to do a better job of distinguishing bitcoin addresses and IP addresses. And I was asked if there were moral issues, since bitcoin can be used by criminals ("I'm working on bitcoin because I think the potential benefits to the world are much, much greater than the costs.")

The other speakers were from PayPal, Facebook Payments, M-Pesa, Heartland Payment Systems, and the Federal Reserve, so it was worth going just for the connections. Bitcoin is definitely the new kid on the block, and I presented it as such; not "bitcoin will take over the world" but "bitcoin is a very interesting experiment that could be world-changing if it works out."

And now... there is plenty of work to be done, so I'm going to stop reminiscing about the good old days last week....

Excellent.

I don't suppose they are planning to publish recordings of the talks or panel, are they?

Ty for the report I didn't doubt you would let us know eventually. But after 4 days I thought you needed a reminder to take 5min and write it up Tongue

I am however a bit surprised that they asked a total of just four questions and that you don't appear to have gotten any impression on whether or not they had a favorable reaction to it?

My personality type: INTJ - please forgive my weaknesses (Not naturally in tune with others feelings; may be insensitive at times, tend to respond to conflict with logic and reason, tend to believe I'm always right)

If however you enjoyed my post: 15j781DjuJeVsZgYbDVt2NZsGrWKRWFHpp

If someone talked about Bitcoin at TED, the lovefest would be unbearable.
Didn't finished it yet, but very nice presentation, Gavin.

I am more worried about the SEC and the IRS.
CIA's main mission is foreign intelligence... as long as it is not used as a means to finance terrorists, we will be okay.

Considering how close bitcoin looks like "Islamic banking", maybe they were worried.

Lucky for us, we have extreme infidel asshattery in the form of mtgox and #bitcoin-otc.

Dallas is outside the US? Or JFK was not part of the main mission?

Most researchers across the world have come to the same conclusion, Oswald was mentally deranged for a long time and acting alone.

The CIA's mission is to defend the interests of the Fortune 100. This includes drug running, blowing up people, toppling countries with resources they covet. They do their dirty business in the U.S. all the time. I still find it hard to believe there are adults walking around who can't figure this stuff out. Do you really think 9-11 was pulled off by bearded men from caves?
